EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — A horse racing track in northern New Jersey has brought legal sports betting to New York City’s doorstep. The Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford started taking sports bets at 11 a.m. Saturday. The track is located in the sports complex where the NFL’s New York Giants and Jets play, about six miles (10 kilometers) from New York City. The daily fantasy sports provider FanDuel is running the space, and says bettors are now able to wager on the World Cup final, men’s and women’s tennis, and Major League Baseball games. Later this year, gamblers will be able to place bets on everything from first downs to wins and losses in all major American sports. “The things that we will be bringing will be like being able to bet in the middle of a game, so that as the score changes the odds change,” FanDuel Chief Operating Officer and President Kip Levin says. It becomes the fourth sports betting outlet in New Jersey, following the state’s U.S. Supreme Court victory in a case that cleared the way for all 50 states to legalize sports betting. Monmouth Park racetrack in Oceanport, near the Jersey shore, and the Borgata and Ocean Resort casinos in Atlantic City had already offered it. Those three outlets took in $16.4 million in sports bets in the first two weeks it was legal. Some of the money raised was bet on events which haven’t even happened yet, like the World Series. In taxes alone, New Jersey has raised almost $294,000. “There was no legislation done in New York, so everybody in New York has to come, if they want to make a legal sports bet, here to the Meadowlands or Monmouth or Atlantic City,” Monmouth Racetrack CEO Jason Settlemoir said. Legislators predicted sports betting would raise 20 to 40 million dollars in tax revenue per year. While they haven’t made that money so far, they expect football season to bring them closer to that target. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Muncy homered and drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers rally past the Angels 3-2 on Friday night in the resumption of the Freeway Series. The Angels took two out of three last week in Anaheim. Muncy, who will participate in next week’s Home Run Derby, singled to deep right-center off Cam Bedrosian (3-2), scoring pinch-hitter Logan Forsythe and Joc Pederson to put the Dodgers ahead 3-2. Muncy took second on right fielder Kole Calhoun’s throw that sailed over the head of catcher Jose Briceno. Bedrosian scrambled to the backstop, but he bobbled the ball and had no throw to the plate as Pederson scored. Caleb Ferguson (2-1) got the win with two perfect innings of relief. Scott Alexander induced a double play to end the ninth for his first save. The Angels got the potential tying run on in the ninth when pinch-hitter Shohei Ohtani doubled with one out. Briceno beat out the throw from shortstop to put runners on the corners. David Fletcher grounded into a game-ending double play to third base. First baseman Cody Bellinger barely tagged Fletcher before he got to the bag for the final out. Muncy’s 22nd home run in the first off starter Felix Pena gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. Calhoun tied the game with a homer leading off the third and put the Angels ahead 2-1 with another solo shot leading off the fifth. Mike Trout went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts for the Angels, who were without slugger Albert Pujols. He went on the disabled list earlier Friday. Pena gave up one run and three hits in four innings. He struck out five and walked three. Buehler came off the disabled list to make his first start since June 8. The rookie allowed two runs and six hits in five innings, struck out five and walked one. TRAINER’S ROOM Angels: Pujols (left knee inflammation) went on the 10-day DL after having an injection in his knee. He’s expected to miss six games. Dodgers: 3B Justin Turner (left hip) got treatment and was available to hit. He initially hurt it on a checked swing and it bothered him running Thursday at San Diego. … LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (left groin strain) threw a bullpen session and will have another one in a few days. … LHP Rich Hill threw a bullpen session and could be used in relief this weekend to stay sharp. He isn’t dealing with any injuries. … LHP Julio Urias (left shoulder surgery rehab) has clocked 92 mph while throwing to hitters and is progressing well. UP NEXT LHP Andrew Heaney (5-6, 3.84 ERA) starts for the Angels, having allowed three runs over seven innings in his last start against the Dodgers last weekend. LHP Alex Wood (5-5, 3.88) goes for the Dodgers after not factoring in the decision against their rivals last Sunday. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
